International oilfield service company Expro is showcasing some of its market-leading subsea technology to visitors of the annual Deep Offshore Technology Conference in Perth, Australia, running from December 3-5. The technologies selected for display by Expro from its Connectors & Measurements business reflect the specific challenges the company’s clients face in the Asia region. Full text
Delmar Systems, Inc. continues to meet the challenges of ultra-deepwater subsea projects by using the Heave Compensated Landing System (HCLS) to successfully install three of the "heaviest tree systems in the world". These 240,000-lb systems were installed at BP's Viosca Knoll 915 (King South) and Mississippi Canyon 129 (Dorado) locations in October 2008 in water depths of 5600' Full text
Kongsberg Maritime Ltd, the leading underwater camera specialist is pleased to announce the launch of its new generation low-light underwater camera, the OE13 124 BIT. The new camera delivers unprecedented light sensitivity, image quality and range performance, enabling users to undertake more accurate, longer range underwater vehicle navigation in low-light and in turbid water conditions.

OAO Gazprom and Schlumberger announced today that they have signed an agreement covering the application of advanced technology to enhance the efficiency of exploration and development for hydrocarbon resources. The agreement covers Gazprom fields in Russia as well as in other worldwide areas. Full text
The subsea raw seawater injection (SRSWI) pumps that will be installed at StatoilHydro's Tyrihans field in the Norwegian Sea, were yesterday transported from Aker Solutions' facility at Tranby to Horten, where they will undergo installation testing over the next month. Once installed, the record-breaking pumps are expected to increase oil production from the Tyrihans field by 10 percent. Full text
The Geowave Endeavour acquired 4,911 sail kilometers during the month of October while working offshore Libya for BP. Towing a configuration of 10 x 8,000 meter long streamers at 100 meter separation, this translates to 2,456 square kilometers. This is believed to be a new production record for any seismic vessel.

The multiphase team of the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) was awarded StatoilHydro’s research prize yesterday, for its work on multiphase flow and transport. Simulation and modelling of how multiphase compounds behave during transportation are difficult tasks. The possibility of predicting turbulence in liquid flows is still an unsolved problem in applied mathematics today.
